Will BBK headers fit?

[LVMarauder]

I know the ones from ford bolt right up but If perhaps i was looking for more bling would these work?

Both links reflect a two value motor configuration. They will not bolt up. From the information below on their website it doesn't look like that have a cobra setup.

Merc's on to something...


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8026655854 I'm hoping the e-bay pics are just stock photos, because something isn't adding up. Look here?

That's my driver's side head, showing what our Marauder "D shape" exhaust ports look like. Just looking at the gaskets in the e-bay pics doesn't hold much promise. Any header/exhaust manifold should match the exhaust port, yes? If you can find more up to date advertising, now you know what to look for. BTW, if they are called "shorties", they prolly fit the frame, but you'll have some custom pipe work following that. Keep us posted?

FYI- when I had my 03 CV Sport I ordered mustang shorty headers from ADTR who said they would fit. Not quite. Had to make a dimple the size of a golfball in one of the tubes cause it was rubbing on the steering column shaft. Also other mods to the right side like oval to round on exhaust port. Spent more than I expected on install

For shorties you need to add some washers to the drivers side engien mount to clear the steering shaft without having to dimple, smash, hammer, or otherwise molest the header.

I think it took one or two fender washers, were talking something on the order of an 1/8"

As for the exhuast work, oh yeah you gonna need some 'special' pieces. Not sold in stores anywhere!
